[tor-dev] GSoC 2017 Project Idea

2017-03-12 Thread Sakchham Sharma
Greetings Tor Community,
I am Sakchham Sharma a CS Undergrad student, I intend to participate in
GSoC 2017 and contribute to the Tor Project. The Tor Project as so now is
quite well known among the people with a technical background, but however,
the people who don't belong to this category have little or no idea about
Tor, they are perhaps the people that would benefit the most from Tor.
So in order to help people better understand about Tor, that how it is
different from their VPN or Proxy service, I intend to an UI Redesign of
the Orbot app for android, as of now it has a minimalistic UI and several
UI glitches, an UI that also gives the users a subtle idea as to how tor
works with be informative and should help more people know more about Tor,
I would be grateful if I could get suggestions/improvements on the above
idea.
Thank you.

Yes, I intend similar features with Orbot, could you suggest a starting
point? Or perhaps someone I could discuss my ideas with.
Thank you.
